The SBA estimates the $40 million extension will support about $1.4 billion in small-business lending.
As part of the Recovery Act enacted on Feb. 17, 2009, the SBA received $730 million to help small businesses, including $375 million to increase the SBA guarantee on 7(a) loans to 90 percent and to waive borrower fees on most 7(a) and 504 loans. The funds for these programs were exhausted on Nov. 23, 2009, and an additional $125 million was provided in December 2009. Those funds were exhausted in late February, and an additional $60 million was provided subsequently. That funding was exhausted late Friday.

Hello All,
I am trying to develop a basic Ray Tracer. So far i have calculated intersection with a plane and blinn-phong shading.i am working on a 500*500 window and my primary ray generation code is as follows
vec3 rayDirection = vec3( gl_FragCoord.x-250.0,gl_FragCoord.y-250.0 , 10.0);
Now i doubt that above method is right or wrong. Please give me some insights.
I am also having doubt that do we need to construct geometry in OpenGL code while rayTracing in GLSL. for example if i am trying to raytrace a plane do i need to construct plane in OpenGL code using glVertex2f ?
Thank You

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Low-frequency unaided acoustic hearing thresholds pre and post implantation with the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala electrode array [ Time Frame: One month ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Unaided low-frequency acoustic hearing thresholds (under earphones) in the implanted ear one month after device activation will be compared to baseline (pre-implant) thresholds in the same ear for audiometric frequencies 125-1000Hz. Threshold changes from baseline will be calculated as:
- Complete preservation of hearing: threshold shift ≤ 15 dB
- Partial preservation of hearing: threshold shift ≥ 16 dB with measurable thresholds
- No preservation of hearing: no measurable thresholds at ≤ 80 dB HL
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Word recognition in quiet pre and post implantation with the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala electrode array [ Time Frame: One month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Word recognition scores in quiet in the implanted ear one month after device activation compared to pre-implant score with a hearing aid

PNC Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a federal agency organized in 1933 that insures depositors' accounts up to the insured amount at most commercial banks and savings associations.
Unless there is a change in federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in "non-interest bearing transaction accounts" no longer will receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Beginning January 1, 2013, all of a depositor's accounts, including all "non-interest bearing transaction accounts", will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount ($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category.
The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTAs). It does not include other accounts such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts and money-market deposit accounts.
For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit fdic.gov.
Important information on Federal Deposit insurance Coverage (FDIC)
The FDIC Insurance Coverage limit has been permanently increased to $250,000 per depositor, per institution. To understand more about FDIC or to learn more about how to maximize coverage, you may refer to www.FDIC.gov/EDIE.
Deposits maintained in different categories of legal ownership can be separately insured.
Therefore, it is possible to have deposits of more than $250,000 at one insured bank and still be fully insured.
Types of PNC Bank Products that the FDIC insures include:
Basic FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage Limits*
|Single Accounts (owned by one person)
|$250,000 per owner
|Joint Accounts (two or more persons)
|$250,000 per co-owner
|IRAs and certain other retirement accounts
|$250,000 per owner (not changed)
|Trust Accounts (including POD Accounts and Living Trusts
|$250,000 per owner per beneficiary subject to specific limitations and requirements
* These deposit insurance coverage limits refer to the total of all deposits that an accountholder (or accountholders) has at each FDIC-insured bank. The listing above shows only the most common ownership categories that apply to individual and family deposits, and assumes that all FDIC requirements are met.

Question by aj 2 270 · Nov 28 '11 at 11:38 PM · red meat digestive
I heard someone say that, is it true and why?
I'd also like to know what's the rationale behind this. I have IBS so I avoided red meat for over a decade because i was told it's hard to digest. Turns out, I don't find it hard at all - a lot easier than gassy vegs and grains!
I think it traces back to some vegan doctor who claimed that meat "rots in our intestines" or some such nonsense.

Answer by Nemesis 11517 · Nov 28 '11 at 11:59 PM
No, that's just vegetarian propaganda at work. We have this stuff in our stomachs called HCI (hydrochloric acid) which begins breaking down food after we chew and swallow it. It can dissolve metals, and our entire digestive system, from saliva to colon, is geared to digest meat as well as plants, not one or the other exclusively.
If meat were "hard to digest", you'd be pooping out chunks of meat and have massive stomach cramping and all sorts of issues. Alas, meat is completely digestable, and what your poop is really comprised of is insoluble fiber (from plants, no less!), dead bacteria, mucus, and any remaining undigested food (short transit time).
Answer by Chris Antenucci 3385 · Nov 29 '11 at 01:24 AM
It all depends on the condition of your health. If you're deficient in hcl acid and pancreatic enzymes and have dysbiosis/leaky gut, it'll be harder for you to digest. If you have a properly functioning digestive system it's not hard to digest, it just has a longer transit time than carbs do through the gut, which isn't a bad thing if you're trying to eat less since it keeps you fuller longer. As someone else mentioned, our gut is designed by evolution to eat both meat and plants, the problem is many people nowadays do things to their body that it wasn't designed to handle, causing an inability to function the way it's supposed to. The red meat/saturated fat myth has been thoroughly debunked, check out other posts about that. Of course if you listen to anyone in the media or conventional medicine they'll tell you the opposite, but they just believed what they were taught without doing any research on their own.
Answer by trjones 5260 · Nov 29 '11 at 01:58 AM
I've seen plenty of undigested food come out in my stool; corn, spinach, thai noodles (sorry for TMI). I've never seen undigested meat in there. The whole "meat rots in your colon" thing is straight up vegan propaganda and shows what we're up against in the effort to get the paleo viewpoint out in the world.
Answer by UncleLongHair 880 · Nov 29 '11 at 04:41 AM
Speaking for myself, red meat actually settles my stomach. It is easy for me to digest, in fact it helps me to digest other things too. This is not as true if it is cooked well done, only if it is rare. I understand that not everyone has the same experience, but clearly something about my system is well adapted to red meat.
Answer by Anonymous Chump 6496 · Nov 29 '11 at 12:29 AM
There is a huge, ingrained bias against red meat. Various camps and motives are behind this.
Answer by Nance 407 · Nov 29 '11 at 12:20 AM
Honestly, the answer depends on your genetics and the gut flora you've cultured. Some people absolutely thrive on meat but I've heard from some people coming off vegetarian regimes that they had to start small and affect a slow transition.
Red meat is the only major nutrient that has NEVER caused me problems--no bloating, etc. I had gallbladder surgery about 7 years ago but even fatty beef gives me no issues. I don't believe my gallstone came from meat, either, but from what I now know is a strong intolerance for wheat. In fact, the only meat that has been a bit much was goose. If I eat a large meal of goose I take bile salts to avoid overload.
Others start with seafood and tiny amounts of meat daily, gradually increasing as their comfort grows.
Answer by panteleimon 1722 · Nov 29 '11 at 05:04 AM
I find red meat easy to digest.
Answer by Keli 117 · Nov 29 '11 at 03:43 PM
I cured my IBS after eliminating grains, veggies and fiber. Red meat is the staple of my diet now and digestion is great.
Answer by Josh M 11085 · Nov 29 '11 at 02:35 PM
I actually eat a lot of raw meat now, I find it very easy to digest, it does not feel heavy in my gut like cooked meat can at times, elimination is good too. I had my gallbladder removes over 20 years ago and do not have any issues digesting fats or meat at all. I am LC-VLC and that evolved naturally for my body.
Answer by Ratiocinative 699 · Nov 29 '11 at 03:23 PM
IIRC, animal products are they only (or almost only) foods that the our body actually digests on its own, via enzymes. Everything else sits in your gut while it is digested by bacteria. That doesn't mean that non-animal products are bad, but the idea that meat is hard to digest is completely false. Meat is easily digested by the human body.

You may not recognize
Vanessa Hudgens in her latest role, as a pregnant teen named Apple in the new
movie, "Gimme Shelter." She looks totally unlike she did
in "High School Musical" or anything else for that matter.
"When my agent sent me the script, I felt like this character had been inside
of me. It really resonated with me, and I just knew I had to do it. But I also
knew I would have to completely reinvent my look. To tap into Apple, I used my
own interpretation that I've picked up or seen in my 25 years of life. I wanted
to completely change everything about what I am physically, down to my voice. I
wanted to push myself. I also went and stayed at a shelter about two weeks
before filming started to get into the mindset of the girls."
And that, she tells the Miami Herald, was a difficult experience .. because
she's had such am easy life herself. "I was pretty shocked. I've
lived a pretty sheltered life for the most part and never been around young
mothers like that. I had to put myself in their position and take on their mentality
and become one of the moms in the same situation. I wanted to live it rather
than say, watch it on TV. Being connected to women is such a special
But there was an upside to her transformation. She GAINED weight for the
role. "It was the best! I stopped working out, ate whatever I
wanted: pizza, pasta, croissants. I had the excuse to let loose!"
Vanessa Hudgens joins Steve Edwards and Lisa Breckenridge on Good Day L.A.
Fun Facts About Vanessa Hudgens: (Source: Wikipedia)
1) She is an American actress and singer. Hudgens rose to prominence playing Gabriella Montez in the High School Musical series.
2) Hudgens has also appeared in various films and television series for the Disney Channel. She had her feature film debut in the 2003 film Thirteen, a teenage drama in which Hudgens had a supporting role. She had mainstream success following the release of the High School Musical trilogy, and her relationship with co-star Zac Efron was heavily publicized. Her appearance in the series helped make her a household name. Songs from the films also charted worldwide, with the song "Breaking Free" peaking inside the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. This led to Hudgens releasing her debut album, V, on September 26, 2006 which entered the Billboard 200 at number 24, and was later certified Gold. Her second album, Identified, was released on July 1, 2008 in the United States.
3) Since the release of her albums and the High School Musical franchise, Hudgens has focused on her acting career. In 2009, she earned critical acclaim for her role in the film Bandslam. She has also appeared in the film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island alongside Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson. She later appeared in the film Spring Breakers (2013), alongside Selena Gomez. The film focused on topics such as drug use and sexual activity. She later released the song "$$$ex" to promote the film. Hudgens also appeared in the film Machete Kills, directed by Robert Rodriguez.
'Gimme Shelter' opens Friday.

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- A mystery man bought a $200,000 winning ticket in the Color of Money scratch off game last week at Elliot's Exxon on Cherry Road.
What makes the win special though is that the same man bought another $200,000 winning ticket last September at the Mr. Express gas station on Ebenezer Road -- less than a mile away from the Exxon.
The winning game that time was also the Color of Money.
As is his right in South Carolina, the winner asked lottery officials not to release his name.
Stephanie Korn is a cashier at Elliot's Exxon and described the winner's reaction Thursday night, saying she knew him but was also not allowed to reveal his name.
"He just came in and said, 'I just won $200,000.' He wasn't jumping up and down. I would have been jumping up and down screaming," Korn said.
At Mr. Express, clerk Ray Grand said the station would get a check for 2% of the $200,000 for selling the winning ticket.
"It's exciting. Very good, you know," Grand said.
There are six major prizes in the Color of Money game and the mystery man has now won two of them.
Asked if she ever played that game, customer Tammi DeDeaux said, "I will now!"

Home Composting Guide
Garbage in, money out
Watch Owen Bailey from the Sierra Club teach you how to compost at home.
Making compost from food waste and garden trimmings is fun, easy, and profitable. Even if you live in an apartment and don't have room for a compost bin, you can make compost indoors.
It's basically just organic material that gets broken down into soil by trillions and trillions of bacteria, earthworms, insects, and other organisms. If organic material didn't decompose, our world would soon suffocate in dead plant material and the corpses of everything in the animal kingdom from mites to whales! Composting is nature's way of recycling.
Almost any type of yard or food waste can be placed in your compost: banana peels, egg shells, vegetable trimmings, leftovers, and grass clippings. All you have to do is cover the material with a few inches of soil, moisten it a bit, and let nature make something out of nothing.
Top Tips
At home
- Grab a bucket. You'll need a small bucket with a lid for collecting food waste in your kitchen. If you want to go high end, stainless steel buckets with filters in the lid let air in but absorb odors.
- Get a bin. You can buy compost bins, tumblers, and other composting devices for anywhere from $30 to $1,000. Some of the simpler, cheaper models work as well as or better than the more complicated or expensive models. Unless you have a huge yard, bins are a must. They'll keep things tidy and prevent flies and rodents from invading.
- Chop, chop. The finer the material you put in your bin, the faster it decomposes. Also, long stems make it hard to turn the material to air it out. If you have a garden shredder or chipper, use it to grind up plants, twigs, and branches. A sharp machete is great for chopping, if you don't have a machine.
- Add water. A spray of water helps speed up the process if your raw material is dry. But too much water can make it so soggy that it won't decompose as fast. So if your bin doesn't have a cover, it's best to cover it with plastic if there is heavy rain.
- And turn. This fast, effective process needs oxygen. Whatever system you use, make sure you keep the material well aerated. If the product smells bad, it's not getting enough air. If you have regular bins, turn the waste each week. A pitchfork is handy for this purpose. If you get a tumbler-type bin, give it a good spin each time you feed it, or more often if the compost is clumping, clotting, stinking, or not brewing fast enough.
- Add a nitrogen kick. The process takes at least eight weeks, but if yours seems to be working too slowly, add blood meal from a garden shop. Green materials such as grass clippings also add nitrogen.
When shopping, look for
- A bin that fits your lifestyle.There are dozens of bins and tumblers on the market. They all work–but some take more effort on your part than others. You also need a model sized to fit the space you have available. Here's a brief survey of your choices:
- Some are simple bins--basically boxes with enough holes to allow oxygen to make the refuse break down. With these, you need to turn the compost.
- Stacking bins are square or round modules that fit together to make a box of whatever height you need. You can break these down into several boxes to keep the finished product separate from the less finished.
- Separation screen bins are rectangular bins that allow the finished product to sift to the bottom for easy removal rather than requiring movement of more finished material to another box for finishing. Some tumblers also have this feature.
- Tumblers are closed cylindrical bins that stir up and aerate the material when you crank or spin them around. With these, you don't have to do any turning. And you don't have to worry about getting too much moisture from rain. Remember, though, that unless the tumbler has a mechanism to separate finished or unfinished compost you'll have to wait until a batch of compost is finished before adding any more garbage or clippings.
- Worm bins might sound yucky, but earthworms are harmless creatures that can turn waste to compost in very short order. Worm composters ideal for apartment dwellers who want to make their own soil for flower pots and other containers. Our partner, the Shedd Aquarium, has great advice on how to start with worms. One important caution: The red wiggler earthworms sold for worm composting are non-native, and can harm northern forests. If you live near a forest in a northern state, don't let your worms escape. If you use worm compost outside or are giving it to somebody who will, freeze it for a week to kill worms and eggs.
Other Considerations
If you're the least bit handy, you can make your own bins or worm composters or tumblers. All it takes for a tumbler, for example, is drilling lots of holes in a garbage can, securing the lid with bolts, twine, or bungee cords, and rolling it around frequently.
…to your yard
It is rich in organic matter. Adding it to your soil helps it retain water, reducing the need to irrigate. A healthier soil makes healthier plants, which require little or no fertilizer and pesticide.
…to your wallet
A typical household of four could make about 500 pounds of compost each year from its food and yard waste. Purchasing the same amount from a garden supplier would cost about $40.
…to the Earth
Of the 31 million tons of food waste Americans send to landfills each year, only 3% is recycled. More composting would reduce the amount of fuel it takes local governments to deal with this mountain of waste. It also also avoids the release of methane, a global warming gas emitted by organic matter decaying in the absence of oxygen in landfills. And it improves soil quality, reducing need for water, fertilizer, and pesticides.
Common Mistakes
- Failure to finish. Part of the art of the process is separating the fine, finished compost from the newer, unfinished, still-basically-garbage stuff. So if you only have one box, bin, tumbler, or other device, be sure it has a screen or other form of separation.
- Haste. Don't get in a rush. The finished product is dark, fine, crumbly, and odorless–even earthily fragrant–like good soil. It really takes at least eight weeks, even if bin manufacturers claim their devices will produce it faster. Unfinished waste can damage or even kill plants.
- Using pet waste. Never! Cat and dog feces can contain very dangerous organisms. On the other hand, manure from rabbits, chickens, cows, and horses is fine, and will enrich the compost.
- Using fatty food, meat, or dairy products. Fats, meat, or dairy products can attract rodents and insects.
- Using material that's too big. Twigs and branches more than an inch or so in diameter will take a long time to break down. If you have a shredder or chipper, use it.
Getting Started
The first order of business is to find the right site. If you have to run an obstacle course to reach your bin, you're less likely to take garbage out and maintain the compost. Also, it's best to put bins in full sun, especially in cold climates. It's also handy to have it near a water faucet, because it may need to be moistened in dry weather. In cold locations, cover the heap with straw to keep it warmer.

I worked at a garden once and we were constantly composting, so much that I started composting at home too. It's kinda gross, yes, but it's so much fun. I do the whole pitchfork deal and after turning the compost I always feel so accomplished. Hard work for the good of our Earth!

No mention of bokashi buckets in this article, so I wonder if they are not available in the USA. I bought one about two years ago. It is a very solid bucket with a tight fitting lid. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. Any waste, including meat products can be added to this bin. Then a handful of special grains is thrown over the top. After a few weeks the whole bucketful is ready to dig into the garden. By this time all the meat, etc will have broken down enough to not cause rodent interest. It has very little smell, too, regardlless what is placed in the bucket.
The bucket must not be cleaned out with anything to destroy the bacteria present. It took about six months for these bacteria to build up sufficiently to work, but eventually it worked brilliantly.
Once I have a bucketful ready, I add it to containers, top with soil, leave a while then plant. Works a treat.

Why purchase bloodmeal at a garden shop? The bloodmeal almost certainly is the product of contained animal feedlot animals. Not something I want to support with my dollars or add to my compost.
Want an environmentally friendly nitrogen fix for your compost? Just add your own urine to the compost. Works like a charm.

Whichever way you choose, Classic Crab spice brings the necessary magic. Our freshly-ground take on this quintessential blend features bright high notes of bay leaf and cardamom, all warmed up with celery seed and a hint of clove. Try it on and in everything from steamed corn to our Classic Crabcakes!

Best of the BEST: Scenes from Oregon's premier cleantech event (Photos)
By Andy Giegerich
Digital Managing Editor
More than 100 cleantech enthusiasts hit a BEST Fest reception Wednesday night to get a gander at the six semifinalists in the Clean Challenge. The contest awarded $25,000 to a commercially viable pre-revenue company launched through Portland State University student research. Click through for more photos from last night's event.
Two companies that aim to produce solar industry items and restaurant-aimed aquaponic farming systems have split a $25,000 cleantech prize.
Best of the BEST: Scenes from the Cleantech Challenge
Diatomix, which looks to make naturally derived solar goods from materials called diatoms, and Mobius Microfarms, which touts its products as "self-sufficient aquaponic systems," won the top prize, as voted on by attendees at last night's BEST Fest reception. The BEST Fest is the region's preeminent cleantech conference.
The contest sought to identify the most viable and well-thought out cleantech business idea. Diatomix and Mobius nosed out four other teams for the prize:
- Continuum, which has developed a corrosion-free lightweight seismic brace.
- Endobright, which is making natural dyes to use in cosmetics.
- Green Innovations Inc., which has devised a way to convert discarded tires to crude oil.
- Neptune Purification, which uses solar energy to purify water.
The six finalist teams pitched their wares to BEST attendees who made their way among the six booths. Those attendees, including CEOs and investors, cast ballots that determined the winning idea. The teams were judge on their pitch, their idea's potential impact, commercialization potential, whether a prototype is at a workable stage, the product's overall potential and the intangible "X factor."
The cleantech umbrella term covers everything from software development to hydroponic gardening and electric vehicles, among other categories.
Wells Fargo and PSU combined forces on the contest for the first time. Ecoworks also provided funding for the awards.

Apigee App Services, which power mobile and rich client applications from the cloud, are based on Usergrid, Apigee's open source data platform built on Cassandra. Ed Anuff and Brian Mulloy discuss how Apigee implemented multi-tenancy at scale within Usergrid when building App Services.
In the wake of Eran Hammer's resignation from the OAuth 2.0 working group, @gbrail and @edanuff discussed the usability of OAuth 2.0 for your APIs, identifying problematic areas of the spec and understanding how to avoid them, and why rolling back to OAuth 1.0 or "rolling your own" is not a great idea.
Learn how Telcos need to change their business models and innovate beyond connectivity to remain relevant in a world changed by the exploding apps and API economy and the shift from voice-enabled to IP networks.
The video and slides for the webcast are below.
What makes for a great API design? What will make the developers who use your API successful quickly? What debates and decisions go on behind the scenes before an API team launches an API?
Build better end-user experiences and architect for performance on today's mobile devices
We're in a data-driven and Web API economy. Web API designers need to define what and how data should be exposed from a variety of apps, services, and stores. What are the challenges of unlocking your data and opening up access in a straightforward and standards-compliant manner? Is OData the right tool for the job? What does it mean from the point of view of designing an API?
Should APIs be covered by copyright law? Would developers and innovation be stifled by copyrightable APIs? Or would it afford protection over IP (Intellectual Property)?

As part of its commitment to advancing electric flight and aviation innovation, GE Aviation will sponsor the World Symposium on Electric Aircraft for the second consecutive year. The symposium will be held Friday, July 29, and Saturday, July 30, during EAA AirVenture 2011.
Open and free to AirVenture attendees, the two-day event will feature several influential industry leaders discussing electric propulsion aircraft in an open forum, offering what they envision is the future for this rapidly growing flight segment that is attracting the attention of scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and investors.
"Electric power systems and technologies are taking on more importance in the aviation industry, and GE Aviation is delighted to play a leading role in this exciting growing field," said Dr. Dale Carlson, GE Aviation's executive for Advanced Engine Systems and a speaker at the Symposium. "A highly reliable all-electric aircraft on par with today's aircraft still poses many challenges, but the challenges are balanced by the many potential benefits such an aircraft would provide for a cleaner, efficient mode of transportation."
Forums on Friday, July 29, will feature visionaries of electric flight, while applications of technology will be discussed on Saturday, July 30. A full schedule of presentation topics is available here.
In addition to Carlson, among the confirmed participants for the symposium are keynote speaker Sergei Sikorsky, son of aerospace pioneer and Sikorsky Aircraft founder Igor Sikorsky; Rep. Sam Graves (R-Missouri); Dorenda Baker, FAA Director of Aircraft Certification Service; Dr. Don Hillebrand, director of Center for Transportation Research at Argonne National Laboratory; Calin Gologan, PC-Aero president; Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA Langley Research Center; Dr. Abas Goodarzi, U.S. Hybrid president; as well as commercial pilot and flight instructor Erik Lindbergh, grandson of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh.
Registration for the World Symposium on Electric Aircraft is required and can be done online here. Forums on Friday, July 29, will be held at the Eagle Hangar located inside the EAA AirVenture Museum, while presentations on Saturday, July 30, will be held at the Nature Center Pavilion on the AirVenture grounds.

If there are impassables that are inconised and labelled Maunten, Wara, Diwai and they represent impassables similar to those on other maps that are almost common place then it makes some sense that you would question a butterfly but no sense why you wouldn't question a rectangle at the bottom with some writing on it.
i am sorry for not giving you the black and white answer you were after, and there is no implination that you are dumb nor anyone else on this site. You just fall into that bracket that didn't know, but now you do.

E3 2011 Re-Cap: Snakebyte Day 1
Day 1 of E3 2011 definitely lived up to the hype. And Snakebyte brought the goods as promised!
About three hours before visitors were allowed into the showroom, the lovely Stephanie started her transformation into the SnakeBabe! Exhibitors from other companies stopped in their tracks when they saw what was going on in our booth, and we don't blame them. The body paint artist did a magnificent job turning Stephanie into a sexy, slithering snake for everyone to admire. The SnakeBabe turned even more heads when the attendees started flooding in. She couldn't go more than five steps without people asking to take a picture with her! But that was fine because she enjoyed meeting and talking to everyone who approached her. Throughout the day, SnakeBabe walked the show with her QR code wrapped around her waist and passing out SnakeHead stickers and free 1 year ID Theft Security Protection coupons courtesy of Snakebyte.

"Last I saw, he was with that odd woman." Myfanwy stated, recalling the incident in the tea house. She hadn't seen him since. "Where should we start?" She was hoping the river, since mostly that's where the action was. If not, she would go where ever the others wanted to go.

Kill all of the pirates.
Shun couldn't see why not. The pirates weren't going anywhere.
"Lets hurry and get this over with."
Yu really wanted to learn more about the ghosts. Might as well take her rage out on some pirates.
"Are all our preparations met to deal with these fiends? Is there any critical outstanding business?" Megaera wanted to go kick some tail quite badly, very very badly, but hid this behind her polite face to her teammates to whom she was unaccustomed thus far.
"I wouldn't think there's anything we're forgetting...we just need to know where to find them." Myfanwy turned to Hui, "Would anyone in town know? Or have you any suggestions on who we should ask?"
Ganzorig left the tea house and tried to find information about a boat or the pirates' hideout.

We've all seen them on the sides of the roads, maybe you've even had to slam on your brakes to avoid hitting them. Deer are a big problem this time of year.
Gene Heffey lives in Charlottesville, but he drives to Richmond for work. He said deer are a regular part of his evening commute.
"Maybe five, ten a night and it's gonna get worse," he said.
There may be a reason why. AAA says deer are more aggressive now any other time of the year because we're in the middle of their mating season.
Sheila Jones is the owner of Green Light Driving School in Albemarle County. She teaches hundreds of young drivers every year but says deer are hard to anticipate.
"I would say that the deer hit us," she said. "He jumped over a guardrail. We were going down 29 and the deer literally jumped over the guardrail and into our car."
Jones said teens sometimes forget about that danger.
"Sometimes kids have driven off 29 and they think the hard part of their drive is over so they let their guard down, but you know what, you're going down those country roads and that's when you absolutely cannot let your guard down,"she said."
That's something Heffey will never forget. He said he's hit two deer since he got his license. Now he says he's trying to learn from his experiences.
"It happened so fast, that you don't have time to think, they just hit," he said.
AAA says in most cases it's better to just hit than to swerve. The organization also recommends that drivers do not rely on devices to protect against deer. It says there is no conclusive evidence hood-mounted deer whistles and other similar devices work.
Deer mating season runs from October through December.
A recent study from State Farm Insurance says Virginia ranks tenth in states where drivers are most likely to hit a deer.

Unfortunately, my friend did the hotel booking. I can't believe I stayed at this place. It was over $100 per night and it was filthy. Towels were thread bare, cigarette ash on the floor in the bathroom, lino pulling up on the floor..... Stay somewhere else!
Stayed here after a terrible experience at the Orchard Park Inn down the street and was plesantly surprised. Helpful staff, clean room which was quite large, and their prices cannot be beat.

A Traveler Special Feature by Bev Isla
The sunlight dims behind our narrow red, white and blue paddle banca as the looming darkness ahead draws nearer. The smell of wet seaweed washes ashore from the ocean and the sounds of water dripping from amongst the cave ceiling surrounds us. The ambiance fills with curiosity as our group submerges into the unknown environment of the intertwining rocky tunnels within. At 8.2 kilometers, the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park in the Philippines is the longest navigable underground river in the world. Nominated as one of the World's Seven Wonders, this river flows underneath a magnificent limestone mountain landscape that exits directly into the South China Sea. However, this cave system only allow boat tours access to the first 4 km before turning back due to low rock ceilings. According to the guide, it was in 1971 that Americans first explored this cave.
As our banca with outriggers crawls further in, the only light available comes from one large flashlight held by the person sitting in front – in this case, me. I hold the flashlight and my camera with my foot resting on the boat's edge. Perhaps having control of the light and my camera for evidence (just in case) would keep my restlessness down. Tour boats resemble that of narrow canoes but the side edges are close to the water's surface level. How easy it looks for the boats to submerge in water. Our guide navigates from the back of the boat as other tour boats glide past going the opposite direction. Its a good sign to see them coming back with smiles.
The low light conditions makes photography difficult. However, limited light sources also prevent large mosquitos (larger than I've ever before seen) from becoming too much of a nuisance. The brownish green waters' depth lies between 10 to 29 feet deep, depending on the tides. In fact, the lower portions of the river is subject to tidal influences. During high tide periods, parts of the cave is actually underwater. The highest point in the entire cave is a 65 ft tall domed amphitheater above ground level which is never underwater. Our guide recommends against swimming in the area as it is too dark and potentially hazardous – a suggestion I will definitely not test.
Above us parts of the rock ceilings boast hundreds of bats, too dark and too far up to see in detail. A few fly near the top but threaten no harm. The bats also do not react to the sound of loud voices. I discover this fact when I excitedly point out " Look! Those are bats up there!" Their glowing eyes can be seen if you watch carefully. It can be a mesmerizing yet anxious and eerie moment to see creatures not common in city-life. As far as the guides are concerned, there are no crocodiles or sharks dwelling in the cave area. If there are other life forms living here, it probably would not be visible to visitors.
As the boat glices smoothly in the water, our guide describes the major rock formations passing by: "Just ahead to the right is a whitish smooth rock that resembles a woman." Unique rock formations and boulders such as stalactites, stalagmites and large chambers align the cave walls. Sharp rock pillars also hang from overhead. The cave wall where rock meets water also exhibit marble-like material while others display a smooth lumpy texture. The flashlight holder must be quick at following the guides' instructions of where to point in order for the shapes to be seen. Luckily, I heard no complaints from the back of our boat about my flashlight operations.
Smaller tunnel pathways and black hallow recesses lead deeper into the cave where visitors would have to duck should they choose to continue. It is at this point where our tour guide slows the canoe to turn around due to low ceilings, sharp twists and turns. To further proceed to the inner depths of the niches and tunnels before flowing out into the sea may require more skilled scuba divers. Although curiosity of the mystical environment beyond our turning point irk the group, the point of sunlight upon return bring about some relief.
Visitors can be assured lifejackets and hard hats are provided. Professional tour guides are very knowledgeable of the cave area and know exactly what and where everything is without the need for flashlights. Using mosquito repellent is recommended. The general registration fee to enter the park is 30 PHP (approx. $0.65 US). Visitors will need to obtain entry permits from the Park Information and Booking Office or Visitors Center at the Park itself. Cave entrance fees are 200 PHP (approx $4.25 US dollars) for individuals ages 21-60, 100 PHP for those ages 17-21, 75 PHP (approx. $2.13 US) for 13-16 year olds, and 50 PHP for 6-12 year olds. For those that want commercial videos, 3000 PHP (approx $63.00 US) is the fee. Hours of operation begin at 8:30 am with 4:30 accomodating the last tour due to tide influences.
